Find Someone in the Williamson County Jail
Williamson County publishes an online Records Inquiry (hosted by Tyler Technologies). It is the fastest way to confirm that someone is in custody and to find their booking number, charges, and bond.
How to search
Search by first and last name or by booking number. A very recent booking can take a few hours to appear — if you cannot find someone, call the Jail Information Line at 512-943-1365. Register with the Texas VINE system for a call or email alert when custody status changes.
A name and date of birth are all you need to find a record. You should not have to enter a Social Security number or other sensitive personal information to look someone up.
Charges and court dates
Charges and bond appear in the jail record. For court dates and case documents, use the county’s Court Records search, or contact the Williamson County District Clerk (felony) or County Clerk (misdemeanor). An arrest is not a conviction.
Visitation Information
Visits use video. You can visit from a kiosk at the jail or remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Remote visits have an added cost. The provider is NCIC.
How it works
- Family may visit during approved visitation times unless a court order prohibits it. For non-family visitors, the incarcerated person fills out a visitation form and may list up to 5 friends.
- 2 visits per week, 1 per day, 20 minutes each.
- Arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Bring only your ID and keys — they are the only items allowed into the jail.
- Set up a remote-visit account on the NCIC website or call 800-943-2189.
Who can visit
- Visitors 18 and older must show a current, valid state-issued photo ID.
- People under 14 must be with a parent or guardian; people 15–16 must be with an adult.
- Attorneys (with a bar card) and clergy may visit 24/7.
Dress code
No sleeveless shirts or blouses; no see-through material; undergarments must be covered; shorts and skirts must reach at least mid-thigh; nothing depicting or promoting gang affiliation or obscenity.
Contact visits are never allowed. Special visits may be arranged for people traveling more than two hours — the incarcerated person submits the request at least 7 days ahead. The schedule can change; confirm days and hours at 512-943-1365.
Commissary and Money Deposits
Money for an incarcerated person’s account (the Inmate Trust Fund) is handled through Access Corrections. You need the person’s name and date of birth.
Ways to add money
- Online at AccessCorrections.com.
- Phone: 866-345-1884.
- Kiosk in the Williamson County Jail lobby.
- By mail — money order or cashier’s check only, to: Inmate Trust Fund, [Inmate’s Last Name, First Name, DOB], P.O. Box 1939, Georgetown, TX 78627.
No currency, personal checks, payroll checks, or blank checks are accepted.
Fees are set by the provider and can change — check the amount before you confirm. The Sheriff’s Office will never call to demand payment by phone, card, or gift card.
Telephone Calls and Communication
Inmate telephone service, remote video visits, and electronic mail at the Williamson County Jail are all provided by NCIC Inmate Communications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find out if my loved one is in the Williamson County Jail?
Use the Williamson County Records Inquiry and search by name or booking number. The record shows the booking date, charges, and bond. If a recent booking is not showing yet, call the Jail Information Line at 512-943-1365. Register with the Texas VINE system for an alert when custody status changes.
What is the SO number, and where do I find it?
The SO (Sheriff’s Office) number is the identifier Williamson County assigns to each incarcerated person. It appears on the jail record search. You must put the person’s name and SO number on regular postal mail so it is scanned to the right account.
